#100: Fedoraproject.org banner (not being dynamic) problem

Component: www.fp.o | Version: Production
Keywords: banner, translation, website | Blocked By:

------------------------------------------+-------------------------
The amber(features & screenshot), green(downloads), pink?(community),
blue(using fedora) and purple(help) color banners at
fedoraproject.org are not big enough/don't automatically expand if the
(translated) string is more than one line. Text is lost when translation
can't be 'one line wide' due to local word length/syntax.
Suggested is 'it depends of your browser, probably because "em" font size
is used and not px' in combination with website design not being dynamic.

[fedora-websites] #246: fedora.css sets a universal scaling factor of 76%, which is much too small

fedora.css, which all Fedora websites are encouraged to use, has this
right at the top:
body
{
font-size: 76%;
background: #FFFFFF url(../images/border-left.png) 0 0 repeat-y;
}
It's been there for years, since before the stuff was imported to git, so
its history may be obscure at this point, but Googling around, it looks
like 76% was considered a 'rule' by some so-called authorities at some
point. http://www.sitepoint.com/css-font-sizing-tutorial/ has mention of
it in the comments, http://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=17583 has some
chatter about it, http://www.baekdal.com/insights/new-minimum-font-size is
from 2005 and cites 76% as the new *minimum* recommended font size, etc.
I think it's pretty unarguably too small for the modern day, though.
Taking the standard 'base size' for browsers - 16px - and using the 96dpi
convention, text at '76%' is 12.16px in size, which is equivalent to 9pt.
How many people do you know who have their desktops set to a 9pt font on a
modern system? Particularly a modern *laptop*. Reading text on Fedora
sites on most systems without zooming or overriding the CSS or setting a
large minimum px size in your browser (which is undesirable for other
reasons) is a pretty tiring experience even for me, and I still have
effectively perfect eyesight for reading text; it must be more or less
impossible for anyone with somewhat less than perfect eyesight.
Yes, this is the thing Felix Miata is always banging on about, but you
know what? Now I spent a day actually looking into this stuff, he's
absolutely damn right. Sorry, Felix. I hope this post was calm and
reasonable enough and brought enough numbers. :)

#266: Webfont update for start.fpo

The webfont we have on start.fpo is rather outdated and leads to wrong
characters. As the text.css has src('☺'), it doesn't load the webfont if
the cantarell font is installed locally. Updating the webfont should
resolve that issue.

Typo in Catalan version
by Pau Climent i Pérez
Dear Fedora webmasters,
I've just come across a typo in the Catalan version of the site. The
correct spelling for the word Ambassadors is Ambaixadors and not
*Embaixadors, as posted in the web right now (footer section of the Catalan
version).
Here is the Catalan Studies Institute Dictionary (DLC/IEC) entry for the
word:
http://dlc.iec.cat/results.asp?txtEntrada=ambaixador&operEntrada=0
ambaixador ambaixadora
*1 **1 *m. i f. [DR] [PR] Persona tramesa en missió diplomàtica prop d’un
govern estranger.
*1 **2 *m. i f. [DR] Cap de la missió diplomàtica permanent prop d’un
govern estranger.
*2 *m. i f. [LC] Persona encarregada d’una missió.
As well as the entry in the Normative Valencian Dictionary (DNV) by the
Valencian Academy for the Language (AVL):
ambaixador -a [ambajʃaðóɾ]
1.
m. i f. DRET Cap d'una missió diplomàtica permanent que representa un Estat
davant d'un altre Estat estranger. L'han nomenada ambaixadora.
Please rely this information to the Catalan web content translators, so
that this can be corrected.
Regards,
Pau Climent.
